Trump used his Truth Social platform on Wednesday to lash out at Zelenskyy and call the Ukrainian a “dictator without elections” who has “done a terrible job” defending his country. Ukraine hasn’t had elections since martial law was put in place after Russia invaded its territory three years ago and launched a deadly bombing campaign that persists today.

Trump’s broadside followed Zelenskyy’s comment that the U.S. president was being influenced by Russian disinformation after Trump falsely claimed that Ukraine started the war with Russia.

    Increasingly surreal stuff just seems to happen.

    But I note that some high-profile Republicans have a spine - despite Elon Musk’s promise to beat anyone who diobeys Trump with his wallet (in primaries).

    Subsequently, Trump was requested to be more truthful by: Mike Pence, Don Bacon, Lindsey Graham, Mike Rounds, John Kennedy, Thom Tillis, John Thune - and probably others who I haven’t even heard of, who didn’t make the news.

      No. Just fucking no. High-profile Republicans will have a spine ONLY WHEN THEY VOTE TO IMPEACH, and not a fucking microsecond before!

      Only the old guard ones who still are deluded into thinking they need to maintain some semblance of propriety and keep the government running while they loot it. Theyre stuck in an era when public discourse and press actually mattered. But now… This Nazi monster has so far outrun their control that they don’t know what to do anymore.
